Sorry, but everyone isn't equal.
It has nothing to do with money, it's just common sense.

Everyone should be equal, that's how we were made.
Differences were created by society.
A black dude and a white dude are equally important because they both share the same thing : life.
they both have a personnality and they both have qualities and flaws that ables people to differenciate them but hey still should be equal.
The people are not equal because humans are afraid of having people different to them act equal to them.
Humans want power over differences and think they are superior to the other races.
Every races has flaws, and everyone should live with them and accept them.
But that would only happen in a world where there wouldnt be people willing to abuse others...

Yes they have, A crack dealer could easily have gotten a normal job but he decided that wealth was more important than morality.
As for the hobo it would be more difficult for him to find employment but it could be done.
Either way at some point in both of these individuals lifes they choose to either become a bum or a criminal instead of working.
They have also been told the difference between wrong and right. In the United States our culture paints crack dealers and hobos as the scum of society. While their is a culture that glorifies drug dealing in the inner city there isn't a mother on the planet who dreams about their child growing up to be a crack dealer.

So, it's more moral to support corporate America than to provide people with something they want? Or is morality defined as "Things you agree with"?

There is a great deal of difference between consumer products and crack a highly addictive drug that can cause brain damage or death.

Despite the moral differences in the world, the fact remains that if it is a human being - if it has a heart and breathes air - it is equal to the next human being. We get so caught up in morals that we can't just see people for what they are - animals.

But once again it comes down to the same statement. We are not all born equaly. A person could be born missing an eye or something who knows. We should be entitled to the same opportunities without fear of persecution of who we are. Everyone on this planet has some importance. It keeps life in a balance. No one is more important than the next. It's just how society views importance that makes the figurheads and the religious people. If we were to take away things like hate, rules, regulations, then we would be all equal. But we are HUMAN! we will have hate! we need rules to keep us from ruing the planet. So we will have an order of imprtance. A watered down Feudal System so to speak.

Why is there this idea that there always are jobs for people to have?!?

No, no mother wishes their child 2 b a crack dealer, but crack dealers usually have had no parents 2 tell them they have no right 2 sell people crap that isn't good 2 them.....Usually, crack dealers come out of "lowsy families" as they say, wich means parents that give the childern junk but that don't really give a crap about what becomes of the child or they refuse 2 accept the chance that just any1 could become a crack dealer.....
Besides, crack dealers usually would accept just any other job except for the 1 they have....If it was possible for them 2 become "normal" again....I think they deserve another chance.....

You seem to be a small minded peice-of-shit hanging from the ass-hairs of America and it's not that your views are invalid, it's just that I hate you.

No, if you actually read my posts you'd find i'm one of the only people who often comments about the downfalls of extreme governments and beliefs...but you're so far left, even moderation seems crazy.

That's an arrogant assumption of my views. I'll concede my post earlier is the same, but really you seem not to actually heed what other users post you just say stuff like 'you're not profound' etc, which proves you to be a fool.
'I can't honestly say I give a shit about some asshole sitting in a stick hut in Rwanda, or some palestinian thinking of how to bring bombs into the airport.'
Well you're truthful, most people who hold such a view hide in shadows and are excluded by rational thinkers. You assume so much I'd venture to call you paranoid. By your logic, everyone in the U.S. is a gun-toting maniac (according to media images we in other countries are bombarded with) do you get what I'm saying?! That's a small minded view, as is your above statement. I'd like to see how you would fare in Rawanda or Palenstine. You'd fear and detest America most likely, just as you fear and detest Palestine.
We are all human, we are all brothers, we are not different species, it's merely our beliefs that seperate us.. and yours are no more valid than that of a native of Rawanda,Tahti, Brazil, Whatever.

It's like saying "Ha Ha, you have blue eyes!".
It's something they can't change, can't influence, and is in no way caused by them.
homosexuality is caused by them
i respect them, i just think its caused by them, you can change skin colour and sex, look at michael jackson! and sexual oreintation is picked by you

Michael Jackson should be the prime personification of tolerance and respecting people who are different. But then I couldn't laugh.
